ToaZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, Louis Sonnerie, a citizen of the United States, and a resident ofthe cityof New York,I borough of Brooklyn, in tie county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Electric-Candle Stand, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved electric candle stand p arranged to permit convenient adjustment with a view to hold the electric lamp in proper position relative to the surrounding body member. Another object is to permit oi conveniently attaching the stand at its base to a suitable support and at the upper end to the usual socket o'l' an electric lamp.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certain novel features of construction, as hereinafter' shown and described and then specifically pointed out in the claims.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in the accompanying drawings forming a art of this specilication, in which similar ciaracters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of an electric lamp fixture provided with the improved candle stand;

Fig. 2 is a sectional side elevation of the electric candle stand';

Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the electric candle stand;

` Fig. 4 is a cross section of the saine;

Fig. 5 is a sectional plan view of the same on the line 5-5 of Fig. 3;

Fig. 6 is a side elevation of the modified form of the candle stand; and

` Fig. 7 is a sectional plan view of the same on the line 7-7 oit' Fig. 6.

The electric candle stand in its general construction comprises a bar 10 provided at its lower and upper ends with integral angular lugs 11 and 12, and to the lug 11 is riveted or otherwise secured the neck 13 of a nipple 14 screwing on the threaded end 15 Y tric lamp 25. lt will be noticed that by the arrangement described the bar 10 ot the candle stand issecurely fastened to the support and the `screw rod supporting the socket 24, and the electric lamp can be readily screwed `up or down in the lug` 12 to correspondingly lengthen or shorten the candle stand with a view to support the eleotric lamp 25 in the desired position relative to its surroundingtubular candle body 30. After the desired adjustment is made the screw rod 2O is locked in place by a jam or lock nut 26 screwing on the screw rod 20 and abutting against the lug 12 either at the top thereof or the under side, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 3.

It will be noticed that by providing the head 21 with the screw thread 22, the socket 24 can be readily attached in position on the said head and, if necessary or desired, the nipple 23 is locked in place aga-inst accidental unscrewing by a set screw 27 screwing in the nipple 23 against the thread 22.

The candle stand shown and described is very simple and durable in construction and permits minute adjustment to insure proper location of the electric lamp 25 relative to its surrounding body member. j

lt will also be noticed that the candle stand can be readily attached to the support and the socket of the lamp can be readily attached to the candle stand.

In the modiiiedform shown in Figs. 6 and 7, the bar ot the candle stand is provided at its lower end with a lug 41 on which is riveted or otherwise secured the neck 42 of a nipple 43 adapted to be attached to the lamp support. V@n the upper end oil? the bar 40 is formed a lug in the form of a fork 45 engaged by a screw rod 46 adjustably fastened in place by two nuts 47 and 48 screwing against the top and bottom of the fork 45. The upper end of the screw rod 46 is provided with a threaded head 49, the saine as the head 21 previously described, and adapted to screw into a nipple ol a. lamp socket. By the arrangement described the screw rod 46 can be readily attached to the bar and adjusted vertically thereon.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. An electric candle stand, comprising a. bar provided with angular lugs, a nipple on one lug and adapted to engage a fixed sup port, an electric lamp socket provided with a nipple and a screw rod screwing in the other angular lug, the screw rod having an externally threaded head screwing into the said nipple on an electric lamp socket.

2. An electric candle stand,rcomprising Va bar. providedl atits upper and lower ends with integral angular lugs, of which the upper one has a tappeda'perture, a nipple Ourthe: lower angularl lug, a nipple on an electric l'anp'soeket, ascrew rod screwing in the said tapped aperture and provided at its upper Vfend with aI headv haringen external screw thread adapted yto screw into the` said nipple on velectric lan'i'p socket., and means holdingI the said yscrew' rod against turning.

32 Velectric candle standj comprising a vpi`r( vicl'e`d at upper 'and lower ends witlldiiite'gralx aiigulr lugs; ofl which the upper one has a tappedy aperture, a nipple on the lower angular lug, a nipple on an electric lamp socket,` a screw rod screwing in the said tapped aperture and provided at its upper end with a head having an external screw thread adapted to screw into the said nipple on an electric lainp socket, and a lock nut screwing on the said screw rod and abuttin r against the said upper lug.

4. An electric candle stand, comprising an electric lamp socket provided with a nipple, a. bar prorided at its lower end with ineans for attaching the bar to a ixed support, the upper end of the har being provided with an angular lug, and a screw red adjustably attached to 'the said lugnnd provided at its upper end with an externally threaded head screwing' into the said nipple of the electric lainp socket. v
